<p>Tech is full of highly intelligent people, whether they are in the Honors College or not. It’s too bad that a lot of people don’t even try to see that - they only see the football games and the silliness and base everything and everyone on that.</p>
<p>I’m not sure how difficult it is to get into the Honors College as a freshman, but I know as a sophomore and up all you have to do is have above a 3.0 GPA. They send out letters to everyone who qualifies. It’s being in the program that’s the more difficult, and rewarding, part. As someone else mentioned, the small class sizes and (ESPECIALLY!) priority registration are the best reasons to join. I passed up my initial offer, worried that I didn’t have the time to commit to it. I really regret it now, so I urge everyone I can to at least consider it.</p>
